As water scarcity spreads across the globe, reduction of water demand will better balance the water budget. The urban sector is a main water consumer, while its ability to recycle its own water resources is limited. Sustainable urban development requires better water interface including lower consumption and in place recycling.

The urban sector requires special attention, as the sensitivity of the customers is much higher than that of municipal water and wastewater treatment facilities.

New building complex offer opportunities for on-site water reuse. Greywater (sewage other than toilets flushing) is a main resource for recycling. Applying different treatment technologies, it can be safely and efficiently be reuse for toilet flushing, gardening and floor-washing.

As water prices rise and water scarcity increases, producing new water resources has an economical sense, beside its environmental importance.

Water Arc will develop the urban water sector for the benefit of the urban customers. State of the art technology will be adopted with the support of the Technion (Israel institute of technology) researchers.

Water Arc is based on the knowledge and experience of Mr. Ilan Katz and Dr. Eran Friedler who acts as an advisor to Water Arc.

Ilan Katz (M.Sc., MBA), works in the water field for more than 10 years in the academy, governmental and private sectors.

Dr. Eran Friedler is a senior lecturer of Environmental Engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Dr. Friedler investigates the development of alternative water sources as part of sustainable management of water in the urban sector
